Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Li Guohao quickly got in touch with Si Yong and the others, and the two sides were extremely excited to meet each other.

"Haha, Si Yong, you guy knew that reinforcements were coming, but I didn't expect that you brought the team! Did you fly here with wings? Let's not waste any more time. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, there are steamed bread in the kitchen. If you are not hungry, help me quickly!" Li Guohao looked at the equipment of his comrades, his eyes shining with envy.

"I had fried noodles on the way. Now my stomach is warm and I feel energetic. I was thinking of killing a few Japanese for fun!" Si Yong lied with dark circles under his eyes without blushing.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time and tell you the situation... Come this way, we have built another wall behind the village wall, and added several layers of wood on the top as a roof. This is our traffic road! Along the traffic road, the outside are the shooting holes for the enemy! However, the materials and time are limited. The fragments of the Japanese grenade launcher can penetrate the logs above our heads. We have already sacrificed 34 soldiers!"

"Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen, right? Even if the grenade launcher pierced through the wood, it shouldn't hurt our soldiers, right?" Si Yong looked at the wood above his head and asked.

"Hey, I didn't explain it clearly! The soldiers who died were shot by the Japanese gunners during the battle. The new recruits didn't pay attention to shooting from the side position. They always wanted to aim straight and put the front behind the shooting hole, which made the Japanese suppressing fire effective! As for the grenade launcher? It can fall on our heads and behind the combat position, but it is difficult to cause casualties to us." Li Guohao said.

"You can't explain yourself clearly... Forget it! Listen to me, the second battalion, the fourth company, the heavy machine gun squad, immediately enter the traffic passage on the east side and go directly to the bunker on the south to fight!" Si Yong raised his hand and pointed, and immediately more than 100 soldiers rushed into the traffic passage, and carried in a Type heavy machine gun.

With the participation of the comrades, the offensive of the Japanese was immediately blocked, and even for a time, dozens of Japanese casualties were caused. The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were all veterans, with good guns and good marksmanship. Hiding in the thick wall fortifications, hiding their bodies on the side of the shooting holes, and only aiming the muzzles at those Japanese soldiers who were away from the front, the comrades could kill a Japanese soldier with just two or three shots.

Seeing this, Major Ito shook his head in annoyance and ordered the attacking troops to retreat temporarily. He had to reorganize his troops and form a new line of troops.

The battle of Qingta was still going on, but on the Baicaoping side, the battlefield had been almost cleaned up. The soldiers of the special forces company also approached Guantao and found out the general situation of the Japanese.

The Taihang Mountains serve as the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain. The east-west drop can reach more than 1000 meters, which makes the entire mountain area full of various cliff terrains, gullies, springs and waterfalls, eagles flying in the sky... and in the entire Taihang Mountains, the section of the Nanming River from Baicaoping to the southeast is a full 11 kilometers long, which is a rare relatively flat place.

What does it mean? If you have good eyesight, standing on Jiantou Mountain where the independent regiment is now, you can see Xiazhan Village at the corner of the river valley 11 kilometers away. The key is that there is a height difference of more than 400 meters from the top of Jiantou Mountain to Xiazhan, and it gets lower and lower as you go south...

Therefore, if they were in a high position and occupied some of the surrounding high hills, they could have a panoramic view of the situation in Guantao. Therefore, Li Yunlong knew that the Japanese had placed most of their existing troops in Guantao Village, and then arranged some troops to defend several villages to the south. There were even Japanese troops on the Chegu South Mountain next to Guantao.

"It seems that the Japanese devils don't want to attack, but only want to defend!" Li Yunlong listened to the report and pointed the artillery telescope in the direction of Guantao, but he couldn't see anything. "Captain, should we go and fight?" The belligerent Zhang Dabiao asked.

"We need to discuss with Political Commissar Zhao whether to fight or not! By the way, how is the battlefield being cleaned up?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Commander, we dug out more than 300 relatively intact Japanese corpses from the pile of dead bodies! As for guns and other things? There are quite a few of them, but many of them are broken, and we haven't tried them one by one! The good news is that we found a lot of scattered artillery shells around the Japanese mountain artillery positions. Many of them are still in boxes, with the fuses removed or not even installed!" said the third battalion commander.

"Well, don't worry about anything else. Bring back the shells and the bodies of the Japanese first. I'll talk to your political commissar about whether to fight or not!"

"I think we can fight! But first we have to ensure that no Japanese can pass through our defense line!" Political Commissar Zhao actually agreed to continue fighting.

"If you think we can fight, then let's fight! As for the problem of the defense line, don't worry. Leave the 1st Battalion of the New 3st Regiment and the rd Battalion behind. I will take the st Battalion, the nd Battalion, and the artillery company to fight! It's just a small village. I, Old Li, have a way to deal with them!" said Li Yunlong.

"Then go ahead. I'll watch here!" Political Commissar Zhao continued, "I just did a rough count. After the Japanese artillery battalion was bombed, not many shells for the mountain artillery were detonated! I just asked the soldiers of the third battalion, and they found about 500 shells. 500 shells, this is obviously not the amount of ammunition a mountain artillery battalion should have, so..."

"You suspect that the Japanese will place the remaining artillery shells in the village of Guantao and transport them forward during the battle, right? Unfortunately, the Japanese mountain artillery was all destroyed without even firing a single shot at us! But your idea is similar to mine, so I have all the more reason to fight the Japanese! Just to seize the remaining artillery shells, we have to fight the Japanese again!" Li Yunlong said.

Since he had decided to fight, Li Yunlong naturally had to mobilize his troops! The First Battalion, which had been guarding the White Grassland, the Second Battalion, which had been digging trenches on Jiantou Mountain for a long time and had basically played no role, and the artillery company that had made the most contributions in this battle and the team that protected the artillery company were all mobilized by Lao Li.

Li Yunlong led the 2st Battalion to the south first, and the 3nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion fought against each other. After the 2rd Battalion brought back the captured artillery shells, the nd Battalion trotted south again and helped the artillery company to move south together.

Li Yunlong led his troops south, which made the Zhongye in Guantao very nervous! After thinking it over again and again, he picked up the phone that had just been connected and shook the handle.

"Moshi Moshi... That's right, I'm Nakano, I have a situation report! Yes, we suffered heavy losses. The Eighth Route Army even mobilized an artillery regiment to bombard us, causing my attack forces deployed in the valley and our pitiful artillery battalion to be destroyed in the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army! I didn't lie, the Eighth Route Army is gathering its forces and intends to continue attacking the villages I am defending! I need air support? What? The bombers went to support the battle on the west side of Mata? I must defend to the death? Hayi, Hayi, the emperor will be shattered..." (End of this chapter)
